The Best Stable For a Horse.

A horse is best in a loose stall 10 feet
square, in which he can move about free
". The feed box and manager should be
four feet high to prevent the dropping of
manure in it. 1t will do no harm to leave
the manure in the stall to accumulate I'M
til it is foot or more in depth, if the
floor is well Uttered and the horse kept
clean. There should be plenty of air for
ventilation and window on the north
side protected by bars inside against
breaking by the horse. The window
should be long and narrow and horizon
tai as to its length, and made in two
parts, one sliding over the other so that
it can be half opened. A horse should
not be watered IN its stable; an outside
trough in which the water is warmed by
the sun is most agreeable and healthful
for horse. A large yard adjacent to
the stable should be provided in which
the horses may take exercise If horse
is i'll tempered and tyrannical to its mates
it should be turned into separate yard
alone to prevent injury NeW York

A Fish That FOrages on Land.

Though true fish, the barramunda
leaves its native streams at night, and
sets out on foraging expedition after
vegetable food in the neighboring wood
lands There it browses on myrtle leaves
and grasses, and otherwise behaves itself
in a manner wholly unbecoming its pis-
cine antecedents and aquatic education.
To fit it for this strange amphibious life,
the barramunda has both lungs and
gills; it can breathe either air or water
at will, or, if it chooses, the two together.
Though covered with scales, and
most tish-like in outline. it presents
points of anatomical resemblance both
to saamanders and lizards ; and
as a connecting bond between the
North American mud fish on the one
hand and the wonderful lepidosiren on
the other it forms a true member Of the
long series by which the higher animals
generally trace their descent from re-
mote race of marine ancestors. 1t is
very interesting, therefore, to find that
this living fossel link between fish and
reptiles should have survived only in the
fossil continent, Australia. Everywhere
else 1t has long since been beaten out of
the field by its own more developed
amphibian descendants; in Australia
alone it still drags on a lively existence

forgotten and extinct family Corn

Where We Get EPSON Salts.

Epson salt is the name given in phar-
macy to the hydrated sulphate of mag
ncsia, which was obtained over 200
years ago by evaporating the waters of
some mineral springs at EPSON, England.
Sea water was afterward found to con-
tain it, the brine remaining after the
separation of the common salt consist
ing of the sui phatc of magnesia and the
chlorides of magnesium and calcium. 1t
was readily obtained by collecting the
first crystals which formed and washing
them with a strong solution of the same
salt. An excellent quality is manufac-
turcd ut Baltimore and in this city from
the mineral magnesitc, silicious hydrate
of magnesia, which is found in the ser
pentine of this region. The mineral,
reduced to powder, is dissolved in sui
phuric acid. The product, after drying,
is caloined in order to decompose the
sulphate of iron. 1t is then dissolved in
water, and any iron present is precipi-
tated by sulphuret of lime. The crystals
of sulphate of magncsia are separated
and dissolved again to complete their
publication Phitadelphia Times.

MOther.OfPearl Fishing.

Mother-of- pearl fishing is carried on
all over the Red Sea- from the north
down to the Gulf of Alden, but the best
fishing grounds are in the neighborhood
of Suakim, Massowah and the Farsan
Islands. The fishing fleet consists of
about 800 boats, mostly belonging to the
Zobeid Bedouius, tribe inhabiting the
coast between Jeddah and Yambo.
About fifty belong to Jeddah and others
to other localities. They are open boats,
of from eight to twenty tons burden,
with one lateen sail. The crew varies
from eight to twelve mel. There are
two different fishing seasons, one of four
and the other of eight months, and dur
ing these the boots remain almost con-
stantly at sea, except for few weeks.
The crew, consisting in great part of
black slaves, receives two-thirds of the
catch, deduction being made for their
food; the owners of the boat keep the
other third Accidents are seldom heard
of, and the divers are remarkable for
their physical vigor and robust health.
They range in age from ten to forty. and
the work seems to do them no harm.
The fishing grounds are in the neighbor-
hood of coral reefs, where the boats are
anchored. The divers then go out in
small canoes, specially imported from
the Malabar coast for the purpose, and
begin their work all round 1t is neces-
sary that the sea should be calm, other
wise the shells cannot be seen. For
some years past the negroes have been in
the habit of using old tin canisters
with glass in the bottom, to enable
them to see better In the course of the
last ten years the catch has fallen ten to
twenty per cent, but by reason of the
increased price good and bad shells have
met with a ready sale. The annual pro-
duction varies from 1920, 600 to $170, 900.

A Ride Down n FIume

A. G.. Mason left the mills at ~
O'Clock yesterday on raft in the fiume
for a ride to Chico. He expected to
make the trip IN three and half hours,
but met with several thrilling mishaps
that delayed him until after dark and
effectually cured him for raft ride TO
Chico. The ride for the first fifteen
miles was novel and grand-scencry as
magnificent as any in the Sierra Nevada
But when the raft struck the deep canons
and mountain gorges, with the flume
stretched along looking like a silvery
thread from the bottom. the ride began
to take on dangers, for the lumber that
had been shipped in the morning was
here met with, and the real trouble
commenced. In one of the deep cuts the
V-box ran onto a board, up ending the
raft and throwing Bert high into the
air. In falling he graSped a small board
nailed 10 the tume and hung suspended
fifty feet from the bottom of the canyon.
Bert, having but one arm, found himself
in dangerous position, and, too add to
this horror, the board he was hanging
to began to break. About twenty feet
below him was a small platform between
the joistS, so, just as the board gave
way, Bert swung out, let go his hold,
and dropped. He struck the platform,
but the rebound threw him thirty feet
to the bottom of the canyon, striking on
his shoulder and the side of his face.
He was stunned for a moment, but when
he came to, he hurried down the tiume
and caught the raft. When twelve miles
from Chico he was again thrown, but
this time he struck in the flume, with a
narrow escape from drowning. His hat
was lost and he was wet through. As
soon as he got out Bert concluded that he
did not want any more ralt-riding, and
walked the remaining twele miles to
town, arriving at 1880 o'clock Chico

MIXED cannot be kept too clean nor be
too thoroughly deodorized.
While the weather is hot, there is dan
ger that the milk will sour before the
cream has arisen as it should. With the
temperature at ninety or over, milk
scarcely cools at all, and the souriDg pro-
cess goes on rapidly. A little very cold
water, or ice if it can be had, put in each
pan as 1t is set, helps to cool the milk
quickly, and at the same time TO hasten
the separation of the cream. This is the
principle of the creamery system, but was
known and practiced by many housewives
before the creamery was invented. 1t
was suggested by washing out milk pals
after straining, and putting this in the
last pan, which yielded more cream than
those not so treated.
Professor Armsby, of the Wisconsin Ex-
pertinent Station, says that the greater
the difference of the temperature between
milk and the surrounding medium the
more rapid will be the Dreaming. In a
series of experiments the amount of cream
obtained ranged from 90 to 80 per cent of
the whole by the well-known Cooley sys-
TEN, while the amount of fat in the skim
milk was reduced from Ito per cent. 1t
was plain from the results obtained that

Utilizing the Liquid.

DR.. Jabez Fisher, Fitchburg, Mass,
has what the Neo England Farmer re-
CARDS the best method of saving and
using the liquid manure it has vet seen
ellis stable in which is kept a cow and
horse, is quite distance from his dwell
ing, a field of several acres lying be-
tween. The field has gentle slope, the
stable being at the lower side and the
residence at the upper. The wastes of
the house, together with the rain falling
upon the roof of the barn, are carried
into the basement, which is made water
tight by coats of cement on bottom and
sides. Once or twice year the LIQUID is
pumped out and distributed over the
field from water-cart with sprinkler at
tached. The cart is filled from chain
pump In the barn floor and the outlet to
the sprinkler is made just large enough
to allow the cart to be emptied in going
once across the field up the slope. Many
who attempt to use liquid manure fail
from using it in too concentrated a form.
1t can hardly be used too weak, except
for the cost of hauling 80 much water"
The above field under this treatment
is kept continually in grass and Yields
heavy crops of excellent hay. To those
who cannot afford to haul for agricultur-
al purposes substance that must be COM
posed largely of pure water Mr.. Chez
yer advises as follows, as the result of
his own experience: "Use sufficient bed
ding material for farm stock to keep the
animals clean and comfortable. 1t may
be straw, damaged hay, sawdust or dry
peat, loan or sand. These will absorb
the liquid and will hold the valuable por-
ton, even though much of the water is
evaporated by exposure to the air or by
gentle fermentation. In localities where
grain is abundant, straw is one of the
best and cheapest substances.for absorb
ing the stable liquids. 1t is often spread
thickly over the cattle yards and in some
cases pumps are set in the lowest part for
pumping the drainage over the top, thus
aiding the evaporation of the water and
the decomposition of the straw "-,-New

Good Milk.

The cows may be kept in scant pas
lures without shade, the broiling sun
pouring down upon their unprotected
backs from morning until night. This
Is annoying and injurious to health,
causing a feverish condition of the sys-
tenn which is communicated to the milk
and aids in the development of floating
curds.
The good dairyman provides his cows
with an abundance of shade and sees to
1t that they do not have to labor all day
IN dryed up pasture to get a scanty
supply of food. but have sufficiency TO
eat and time to lie down in cool places,
chew the cud, dream and secrete good,
wholesome milk.
Cows are often compelled to get their
supply of water from stagnant ponds
and pools. These are teeming with ami
NAL and vegetable forms of life of a
microscopic character, which are taken
into the stomach and enter into the cir
culatory system.
Experiments made at Cornell Univer-
slty some years ago showed that these
minute organisms and spores not only go
into the blood, where they are found,
but into the milk, which is elaborated
from the blood, rendering it unfit for
human food
Pure water, and plenty of it, is alb
solutely essential to the production of
sound milk
At this season of the year the air is
full of all sorts of microscopic life. the
germs of which are floating and settling
everywhere. They are most plentiful in
stables, barnyaIds, sheds, etc, and
wherever there is fermenting and decay
ing matter.
If the COWS are MIXED in sucha place
these microbes will be inhaled by the
cows and enter into the general circula-
ton and thence into the milk, and they
will also fall into the milk pals and cans,
and contaminate milk by direct contact.
1t is declared by good authority that if
the COWS breathe foul atmosphere for
fifteen minutes the foulness will show in
the flavor of the milk and injnre its
keeping qualities. Therefore, all places

Aids About the Poultry Yard.

Guinea fowls are great aid about the
poultry yard to keep away minks and
other destroyers of poultry. They do
this because they are always alert, and if
anything comes prowling about the roost
they seem at once to hear it and to make
their peculiar noise. In the day time also
they seem to see hawks before the chick
ems do and then give the alarm. If Que
becomes cross to the chicks it should be
shot and made into pot pie. A small dog
chained under the rOost is also excellent to
keep away these providers of the night
The dog should be let loose during the
day but tied up at night.-The Fancier.
